Immigration update
Tony writes regarding a recent Lifelines column which instructed foreign residents with immigration issues living in the metropolitan area and surrounding prefectures to head for the Tokyo Regional Immigration Bureau at 5-5-30 Konan, Minato-ku, Tokyo (03-5796 7112 -- Web site: www.moj.go.jp/ENGLISH/IB/ib-18.html )
"I know for certain there is still a regional immigration office in Saitama -- as well as Kanagawa, which you mentioned," writes Tony.
